Genealogy

Jesus is to establish his royal messianic bloodline, that Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism, and to show Jesus as the Teacher. The first verse in Matthew is, “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham” (Matthew 1:1, NKJV). Matthew then proceeds to list all of the genealogy, fourteen generations from Abraham to Jesus Christ. It is important to establish Jesus’ bloodline through the Old Testament and to authenticate His…

present claims and arguments on topics that some may disagree with. Their premises and conclusions on any topic can end up being viewed subjectively as understandable, probable, or debatable. After concluding each of their books, Plato’s Republic and Genealogy of Morals, claims on topics like the soul, justice, guilt, or origins of our conscience are on each side of the spectrum with Plato and Nietzsche. With this being said, if I had to take a stand with either philosopher, I would stand with…

Nietzsche does also offer some conclusions that would seem to go against the value of noble morality such as in (Genealogy, I §17) where he talks about how Napoleon is the perfect example of the problems that occur with the noble morality with its brutal nature. These criticisms suggest as (Kaufmann, 1974, p.297) puts it that “it does not follow from Nietzsche 's "vivisection" of slave morality that he identifies his own position with that of the masters” but rather that he focuses more on the…

Even though genealogy and original sin influence one’s character, Steinbeck creates a picture of the homo sapien ability to establish an identity apart from ancestors through free will. With that in mind, he also communicates that without free will humanity is inherently…

Lono and Kū are two Hawaiian gods that were most often represented through feathered basketry and wooden sculptures. Lono is known as the god of agriculture, plants, rain, pigs, peace, and most often connected to the idea of genealogy; while Kū is well known as the god of war, forests, canoes, houses, and crafts. These are two opposing gods in Hawaiian culture and are dependent on each other because of their juxtaposition to one another. They complete a sort of higher balance between each other…

Timothy is a messenger of Paul's doctrine. The books 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy are mostly concerned with presentation of correct doctrine. We see Paul's first direction to Timothy in 1 Tim 1: 4 "Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do." Therefore, that we can conclude that Timothy was a great student of Paul's teachings, but also he was clearly in need of Paul's continuing support to maintain correct…

The term, infancy narratives, is applied to the accounts of the birth and early life of Jesus. They are only found in two of the gospels. While Matthew and Luke are the only two gospels that contain the infancy narratives, they are a significant part in the story of Jesus. Matthew’s and Luke’s infancy narrative are both distinct, neither were a source for each other. While referred to as the infancy narratives they do not give us much from Jesus’ infancy and childhood. What the infancy…

Some people’s names today are, frankly, astounding. For starters, men’s and women’s names are losing their masculinity and femininity. “Hi. My name’s John. How’ ya doin’?” “Oh, Hello. My name’s Jozzme.” “I’m sorry. I didn’t catch that.” “Jozzme.” “That’s what I thought you said.” Names increasingly sound like people named their kids from the ingredients on the side of a cereal box. “Heyyyy. This is my friend, Reyzin.” “Umm, nice to eat y__ ...I mean, meet you.” Excuse the levity (figured this…

I chose the article “Contemporary Forces the Supported the Founding of the Boston Public Library.” about the founding of the Boston Public Library. I thought the title was interesting because it discussed the contemporary issue of the time period where the public library was developed. The Boston area enjoyed great population and wealth due to its site and economy. The economy allowed of the state of Massachusetts allowed the commonwealth to issue a low that made it mandatory for an area that…

infants. Kinship is also associated with reproduction, and the modes of livelihood. (Miller 2011: 118) A kinship diagram is a way to present kinship relationships of a particular individual, the ego, and this is depicted by using various symbols. A genealogy is a way of presenting a family tree by starting with the earliest ancestors, that can be found, then going down to the current people…
